LEED ChallengeWhat does this mean to our organization?
1. Possibility of self-sufficiency less dependent upon state funding
2. Need to develop staff education program

Cost comparison- 33 green buildings vs. theoretical conventional building standards.
Findings:• 10 fold increase on initial investment
• Biggest savings- Employee productivity & health

“the LEED process encourages an educational component, so appropriate for the "lifelong
learning" role of public libraries” (p. 14)
*Helpful guide in LEED certification education development
Ames & Heid, 2010

LEED Method
Action Research methodology
How much do WPL full time staff at the Central branch currently know about LEED
certification?
*Structured interviews for full time WPL Central branch staff, based on voluntary participation.

Analyzing the Data
Transcribed interviews analyzed through open coding approach
1. Read once for general content
2. Read 2nd time to categorize/code
3. Comparison of categories- Overlaps eliminated4. Alphabetize codes
![Page 14: Stephanie D. Vap Emporia State University](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815c6c550346895dca803d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
LEED Timeline1. Month 1- Research LEED certification program.

Limitations
Not instructional for design of LEED building
Not a measure of success for a LEED building
